Orlando - 1992 - 7/10
“Do not fade, do not wither, do not grow old.”
So commands Queen Elizabeth upon giving Orlando a castle.
Time rolls on, and the young lord does not age, dabbling away the years.
He does, however, transform into a female, and experiences life from that perspective.
And years continue to sweep past.
An audacious film of gender identification and sexual fluidity, far ahead of its time.
Haunting score, interesting casting. A film that may linger with you for weeks, or through your life.
